Faith Lutheran High Hosts Private Schools Country Meet
There was a lot of excitement and energy in Warda last Friday, Oct 30, when Faith Lutheran High School hosted their 2nd Annual Private Schools of Central Texas Country Meet. The races, which varied in distance, were for students in Kindergarten through grade 8. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful, as kids gathered eagerly awaiting their race. There were lots of great races and scenic running routes under shade trees and cool, clear skies. Along the route and on each side of the finish line were parents, grandparents and teachers cheering the kids on. Approximately 200 kids were signed up to race, representing seven different schools.
